$20.00 – $45.00
Triathlon specific group swimming and instruction for all abilities!
Now in it’s 18th year, ET Open Water Swim Clinics at Centennial Beach is a weekly swimming program designed for triathletes. We’ll provide structured workout sets to build endurance and triathlon specific skill instruction such as open water sighting, wave starts, drafting, buoy turns, and bumping.
We’ll also have a coach in the water to help “new to the deep end” swimmers build confidence in open water swimming.
In addition to the program fee paid on this page, athletes will need to pay for their own entry fee into Centennial. Daily and season passes are available at the entrance. Information on entry fees to the beach can be found on the Centennial Beach website.
How do I know if ET Open Water Swim Clinics at Centennial Beach are cancelled?
If the beach is open, we swim. Yes, even in the rain!! We don’t get to pick our race day weather, right? Our program could be cancelled at the last minute due to weather. The Naperville Park District post real-time closing information on their site at http://www.napervilleparks.org/cancellations.
They even have a great phone app, RainOut with real-time weather related status. Please be checking the Park District site for last minute cancellations.

“I really want to give you guys a VERY LARGE THANK YOU for all the help that I received from you, especially on Monday nights, I tried 3 other tri’s before today, the swim’s were all the same; panic, frustration and hanging on to whatever I could. Fortunately, I was introduced to Experience Triathlon at the ET Batavia Tri and been swimming with you since and have learned more about tri swimming in 9 weeks then in the previous 10 years. Today’s swim at the ET Naperville Triathlon was great… no panic, no frustration, no hanging on, just swimming. Without your help, I would not have been there today. I’m already planning my next triathlon. THANK YOU AGAIN. Please pass this on to Coach Suzy, Coach Cathy, Coach Joe and Coach Jim.” – Gary H.
“The Open Water Swim sessions that you offer have been a critical part of my swim training this year and it’s why my swimming has improved so much! It’s an absolute perfect environment to absorb the conditions of a triathlon race and it’s been the catalyst to help me overcome my weaknesses and fears. I’m so much more confident in the open water now! Thanks to all your swimming coaching staff. They’re so knowledgeable and they make Monday nights a blast. I love all the services that ET provides and I appreciate all that you do to make us love the sport of triathlon so much more. Thanks!” – Cathy O.

$30.00Transition practice is possibly the most under-trained aspect of Triathlon racing, yet it is important enough to be considered the “Fourth Leg” of Triathlon! This clinic, offered exclusively by Experience Triathlon and USAT certified coaches, allows athletes an opportunity to practice multiple “takes” of race day, from setting up an actual transition space on a transition rack, to putting on a wetsuit, simulating a race start, swimming, flowing through T1, biking, flowing through T2, and then running.
Athletes will be coached through the entire process, shown tips on how to improve their process, and then allowed to practice multiple times! Athletes will also be timed, so that they have tangible goals to work towards throughout the entire clinic.
This 90-min clinic that can have the possibility of producing as much gain in overall race-day times as an entire season of training in any of the other disciplines of triathlon racing!
Both newer and veteran triathletes will benefit from this clinic. It is the closest simulation one can have to practicing the 4th Leg of Triathlon, multiple times over!
